I have an Evergreen Wisteria, not to be confused with the Chinese Wisteria. It is already about 4 feet tall but not too thick. Where can I grow it? I was thinking of planting it next to my wooden fence and just helping it along with pegs/wire. Will it take to the fence and create a nice display of flowers? Or will it overtake with too much weight on the fence. Please do help, I am in Zone 9 Houston TX.

Well, the Evergreen Wisteria is well suited for your area and although it is not the Chinese wisteria or as aggressive, it still has the same growing habit. The evergreen wisteria needs heavy duty support because it will become heavier as the years pass. I don't know if you've seen a mature wisteria trunk, but it looks a lot like a small tree trunk. Wisteria have been known to remove siding and uproot fence posts. Make sure your wooden fence is very strong and keep in mind that as the your wisteria grows stronger, your fence can weaken both from the stress of the wisteria and age. I would think that some sort of heavy duty arbor made of strong wood would be best.

i think of Laura has been examining to a lot of 'Day of the Triffids'. Wisteria is an extremely eye-catching vine that grows as much as 9 metres, counting on the variety, so i do no longer think of you would be desiring that 25 acres basically yet. The Wisteria floribunda kinds look to have the terrific named kinds and that i've got W.F. Macrobotrys which has flower racemes as much as 3ft long and perfumed. suitable temps in accordance to my books of all the way down to minus 20 deg F. suitable for zones 5-10. The domed timber do sound like weeping timber with their decrease branches pruned point, or ought to be something like a weeping willow.
